The Red & Blue Houses at Adventure Cornwall

The Red & Blue Houses at Adventure Cornwall, Lombard Farm, Mixtow, Fowey, Cornwall, England

Nestled in a wonderfully remote corner of Cornwall, near Fowey and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are two newly converted farm buildings with bright and minimalist interiors. The Blue House, painted in two shades of blue and white, has a sunny Greek feel and is spaciously open plan with high ceilings, exposed beams, good sofas and a wood-burning stove. The Red House has the same fresh contemporary design and a warm Moroccan feel. Each cottage has underfloor heating, a wet room shower – clean, no frills – and an enclosed grassy garden and meadow big enough for football and a swing. The Red House, slightly larger, has two futons on a mezzanine. For two parties holidaying together, there's a long pine table and chairs – perfect for communal meals. In fact this is the perfect place to come with young adventurers: there are no carpets to worry about; you can all go canoeing with David, or rock-climbing; or you can sign up for a moorland experience and brave a starry night under canvas. David's friendly enthusiasm inspires the confidence to tackle any challenge you may choose. And, for the less out-going, massage and yoga are available.

Yurt also available.
